Important advice for the oblivious in each of us

Citric acid curdles milk.

"Dante, we frickin' knew that."

If you sit down to a cup of tea with milk in it and also pour a glass of ice water and think "gee, I'd like some lime with that water", please stop yourself. Otherwise you will blow a couple hours with an upset stomach.

"You're a tard, lad. I mean, you've got a degree and normally you can tell your elbow from Shine-Ola but..."

Hey, sometimes I just hit the Stupid Olympics. We all do.

you sure that was the cause? i mean there is acid in your stomach too, once milk hits that, it is a gonner isn't it?

I was assuming, it's true. It could be the Twinkie, a vile ball of chemistry I hadn't tried in years and now I remember why. It doesn't taste like anything. It is, as Yakov Smirnoff once said, "a Chernobyl potato".

Thank goodness my roomie had some Tums because I'm starting to recover.

It's possible the curdling happened in the esophagus rather than the stomach, depending on what sort of pauses between sips occured. OTOH, back when I was a teenager I used to consume a drink that involved chocolate milk and orange juice and my stomach didn't seem to mind (the curdled bit was surprisingly tasty, due to the chocolate).

a few weeks ago at work some guy bought a cup of wild sweet orange tea. i put the teabags in the cup, filled it with wawter, and handed it to him. two minutes later he was up at the counter saying that it curdled. this dipshit put milk in it, lots of milk, before it was even done steeping. *slaps forehead*

gotta finish cereal and get outta my jammies and all the way to penfield in 40 minutes. shit.

..... See, this is why the only tea I put milk in is Chai.
